About Monda

As the daughter of a theatre (mom) and sociology (dad) major, I'm DNA purposed to create literary and visual art that celebrates humanity. I'm an independent filmmaker dedicated to telling little known stories hidden in the crevices of history's pages. A visual archeologist, I'm committed to organic storytelling that elevates, educates and uplifts humanity.

The self-published author of 4 books and an award-winning short film, I enjoy performing my poetry.

As a filmmaker, if I don't make you feel something, laugh, cry or throw something at the screen, then I have failed.
